You'll hear me coming too if I'm on my ST still. Most of the group won't ride behind me now as it makes their rib cage vibrate
Look out for a group of 16 uk bikes, probably with either a black R1 or a Grey ST4S somewhere out front (unless we're being good, in which case it will be a red VFR at the helm).

by the way, if anyone is interested the bmw ring school have announced their dates and now taking bookings. A couple of the WVAM members are instructors. I can cross-post the details if people would like me to.

My appologies for hijacking this thread

we are there until Tuesday, I belive there may be racing on at the ring that weekend (the F1 circuit) mayb e a meet up there would be good...or just come and join the beer fest one evening!!!

[John W]

We arrive Saturday, and leave for home on Tuesday. We are a little way away fron Cochem, so unlikely to do an evening session, even by taxi.
We will have our own beerfest in full swing each night though. 2 years ago we drank the hotel dry of beer and all their wine in 2 nights, and demolished their renewed stocks too before we left. Oh, they also banned us from eating the complementary peanuts as we weren't leaving any for the other guests apparently
Its a toss-up as to what is more important, the beer or the bikes

I've given Roy my mobile number, so we'll try to coordinate a meet / session at some point.

sounds great :thumbsup:

anyway...anyone ridden the new Multi yet?

[John W]

Had a shufty through the latest Bike magazine today (wanted to see what they thought of the new VFR1200 to see if they aligned with my test ride experience).

It says there is a feature on the Multistrada in the next issue.
I think it said the next issue is out March 7th, but could be wrong.

Monty, it says sports bike riders will be amazed, not decrepit old trials bike riders
